As chair, you'd lead a group of academics, policy makers and intelligence officials in advising the boss of our nation's intelligence communities, James Clapper, who is the director of national intelligence.

You'd help the director coordinate intelligence gathering among all of America's 17 spy agencies and issue reports like this one studying if freed detainees at Guantanamo Bay will engage in terrorism again.

Like we said, it's a pretty high-profile post that deals with lots of classified information. From the job listing:

The National Intelligence Council (NIC) consists of the most senior intelligence analysts supporting the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in carrying out responsibilities as the head of the Intelligence Community (IC) and as the principal adviser to the President for intelligence matters related to national security.
